My number one goal was to be the best fighter ever in the Octagon. I think I can hold hands with many who can stake that claim.
I think Georges St-Pierre is a joke.
I'm a big fan of Jon Jones.
I was a fan of Jon Jones. I thought he was great.
I don't think Anderson Silva is less of a fighter.
Nick Diaz is going to go down as one of the greatest MMA fighters of all time, no doubt.
Cro Cop is one of the best in the world and such a great guy. It was awesome to train with him. There's nothing better than working with him, and it was a great experience.
Anderson's been here the longest, he brought our sport to the forefront. He's been around, and yeah, I've always been a fan and I've always enjoyed his fighting style.
Jon Jones is at the top for a long time, can't say enough about him.
I absolutely hate when people mention Rashad Evans.
You guys might not know who Yves Edwards is, if you don't, shame on you, go do some research.
I was brought into the life of one Bas Rutten in 2001 at a grappling tournament that I was attending to support a friend of mine. I had never met Bas before but, of course, knew who he was: the King of Pancrase, UFC Heavyweight champion, and the commentator with Pride.
When Scott Coker first mentioned to me that Ken Shamrock wanted to fight I said, 'Thank you.' I played a little hard to get, but for sure I knew we had to do the third fight with Ken; there was no doubt. He still insisted on fighting me. I guess the guy cannot sleep for 22 years.
I like Vitor Belfort. He's a nice guy and I have nothing against him.
When you’re the best fighter in the world today, they don’t call you a great fighter. They call you Chael Sonnen.
Chuck Liddell's a puppet.
Nothing but respect for Demian Maia.
Cris Cyborg is one of the best in the world, and there is no shame in losing to her.
Before there was a Ronda Rousey, there was a Gina Carano and Cris Cyborg. They finally fought, and we found out who was the baddest woman on the planet, and that was Cris Cyborg. When she hits people, I'm like, 'Whoo!'
There's only one Anderson Silva. I think he's a specialist and a generalist.
I respect Conor McGregor a lot because this man changed everything in the UFC.
I love 'Jacare.' I'm a fan of 'Jacare.'
I have no problem admitting I have a soft spot in my heart for Faber. He's a pioneer and a trailblazer and has always been a pleasure to cover. He's a great guy who happens to be my mom's favorite fighter, as well.
It's an honor to fight someone like Randy Couture.
I feel like Randy Couture has helped build the history in this sport.
